OK, I know this thread disappeared, but its being updated. I just received my second stage 3 kit today. This time it is a 4G93 manifold, but it is still not ported, still no fuel rail, and this time it came with less piping than the last one so I couldn't install it even if it fit. And the pipes are supposed to be coated black as well, but they are still silver. I can't get a hold of Phillip for anything.

there is a big difference, though, between a crank pully and what drucea is talking about... My first though, army685, was that you probably got a repackaged e-bay pulley. but that's really not my place to say

wow i cannot believe the second one he shipped has the same problems.

no offense at all drucea, but by this time i really like you should be contacting a third party regarding this. better business bureau is your best bet. It's very nice of you to keep giving phillip chances to right his image, but after this second shipment i wouldn't put up with it anymore

[SARCASM]Yeah, right. I'm really sure A-2 is a legit company registered with the BBB.[/SARCASM]

It's a guy selling parts out of his garage. He made up a name and got a website. Period.

THIS is why we make people register as vendors. If Philip had registered, EvoM would have the ability to contact him and work with him.

My wife made up a name and is working out of our living room. She is registered with the BBB and PPA. Just because you work out of your home dosent mean you cant be responsible.

i'm sorry to hear about all you guys and your trouble with A2... i never had any issues personally, but since these issues affect the community here--they affect me.

i actually took off my A2 fuel pressure regulator today after work. no more hard starts, and now the car just plain feels more solid. i also noticed a difference in top speeds in 1st and 2nd gear. i used to shift into 3rd from 2nd at redline around 55mph, now with the FPR removed i shift at roughly 59mph if not an even 60mph.

so the A2 FPR actually DECREASED performance on my lancer... glad to have it off.

i hope all you guys who A2/prench owes money to will get your money back or get replacement products that match what you PAID for.

Well I haven't contacted a third party if they cost money. If my bank has a branch here in san antonio, then tomorrow I will be going in to dispute the transaction. I called them yesterday and they basically told me I will be able to get my money back. So I think I will be ok from here on out. And trust me, I stopped giving Phillip chances a long time ago. I just can't contact him...actually its him that won't respond to me.
